The Richest Nigerian musicians and their net worth is something everyone talks about nowadays. Nigerian artistes are truly smiling to the bank with a lot of endorsements deals and rich companies clamoring for their signature. Don Jazzy and D’prince have been unveiled as new MTN ambassadors while Burna Boy has been unveiled as the lastest Globacom telecommunication Ambassador. I must say it is a big achievement for Burna Boy seeing he is quite fresh to the Nigerian music scene. Some will say money is not everything, but it is hard to denial that money is powerful. The reason we all go to work is so we can at least make some money – I mean some serious money.

The same old story. OP, even Kylie Jenner who is RICHER than any entertainer in Nigeria has a networth of $2 - $3 million... (according to world renowned Forbes) tell me how Dbanj or P Square is worth N400 million. Once these guys just posted something online, some bloggers would just start ranting -- "400 million, One BILLION etc". I even heard baby Genevieve has a $4 million house in Ghana... courtesy bloggers. The question is >> why can't these celebs themselves tell you or anyone who's interested how much their stuff are. At least Forbes would investigate and tell us their true financial standing, not just some blogger or OP releasing old crap and OVER HYPING that's not even there.
